No one's born with a broken heart
Shadows try to steal who you are
Years of pain fall from your face
As you run like a child to his embrace
Breathe in, breathe in
Come broken-hearted, all you who wander
Behold the love of the unfailing Father
Lay down your burdens, lay down your pride
Rest in the peace His love provides
Search no farther
Than the unfailing Father
As sons and daughters of His peace
The stewards of these mysteries
Let no fear rob you of worth
His love has overcome the earth
Oh His love has overcome the earth
Breathe in, breathe in
Come broken-hearted, all you who wander
Behold the love of the unfailing Father
Lay down your burdens, lay down your pride
Rest in the peace His love provides
Search no farther
Than the unfailing Father
Than the unfailing Father
Breathe in, breathe in
Come broken-hearted, all you who wander
Behold the love of the unfailing Father
Lay down your burdens, lay down your pride
Rest in the peace His love provides
Search no farther
Than the unfailing Father
Search no farther
Than the unfailing Father
